This book was all character development but so well written it really got my tearing up by the last couple of chapters. I will say, it’s so character heavy that parts felt unnecessary or really dragged on. By the end the full picture did help you get to the emotional side to how these characters were developing and growing. It’s a slow burn kind of book but worth it in the end.

3.5 stars but I’ll round up to four. Beautiful story in theory and I love women! but felt like it could have done more, and some descriptions were so cliché I could have laughed. Also needed a Julia redemption…

I could not get into this book as it just didn’t hold my interest. It took everything in me to finish it for book club. I do not in any way think this book is poorly written, I just personally couldn’t relate and it made it hard to connect to characters.
